Tears In Heaven — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial

Watch "Tears In Heaven" by Eric Clapton in falling notes style — like Synthesia. Color-coded notes fall onto the keyboard in real time. Practice left hand, right hand, or both. Key of A, 88 BPM.

Tip: Start at 50% speed to get comfortable with the fingering, then work your way up to full tempo.

Lyrics

Would you (E)know my (F#m)name if I (A)saw you in heav (E)en? Would it (E)be the (F#m)same if I (A)saw you in heav (E)en? I’ll find my way through night and day ’cause I know I just can’t stay here in heav (A)en. Would you (E)hold my (F#m)hand if I (A)saw you in heav (E)en? Would you (E)help me (F#m)stand if I (A)saw you in heav (E)en? I must be strong and car ry on ’cause I know I don’t be long here in heav (A)en. Time can (Bm)bring you down, time can (D)bend your knees. Time can (Bm)break the heart, have you (D)beg gin’ please, beg gin’ please. Be yond the door there’s peace, I’m sure, and I know there’ll be no more tears in heav (A)en. (A)en.
